The lawmakers ,who frowned at the manner trucks litter the ports, said ” It is an eye saw and unacceptable.”

In a town hall meeting with stakeholders, the Committee observed that the role of heavy trucks in the ports is a dare danger and a treat to life having constituted itself as hindrance to traffic.

Stakeholders in the town hall meeting suggested that the Lily Pond Terminal be opened up as a solution to the heavy truck menace in the area.

They advised that that the terminal if opened up will be the quickest solution to the problem.

Earlier the Committee had met with Boni Prono the contractor handling work at the port ,who assured completion of work on schedule.
